Following the EPA Method 604, the optimum analytical method consisted of procedures including a liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) (n-hexane as an organic solvent), a derivatization (according to acylation technique by using of pentafluorobenzoylchloride (PFBC1), a clean-up procedure (silica gel, deactivated with 2 % water, as a sorbent material) and GC-ECD quantification. When including each of these above steps in the analytical procedure, the recovery rates of target compounds were obtained to be > 80 % (RSD: < 10 %, [n=3]).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesschlorinated phenolsanalytical methodoptimizationwastewaterArticle1311B13291333N/AWOS:000226041200024Q4
